My dad always played it this way on his 12 string and to me it sounds the most like the 
 I would suggest NOT using a capo.  It gives the sadder sound.  This is my first post so

The Full Lyrics (thanks to Brian Ross)
===============
D           Am      C            G       D
The legend lives on from the chippewa on down

D           Am      C            G       D
Of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee"
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gordon_lightfoot/wreck_of_the_edmund_fitzgerald_crd_ver_2.html ]
D           Am        C           G       D
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead

D           Am    C        G    D
When the skies of November turn gloomy

D           Am      C              G          D
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more

D        Am      C         G       D
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.

D              Am       C     G       D
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed

D        Am        C         G    D
When the "Gales of November" came early.
